note: these calories assume that you use up ALL the spicy kale salad batch (which is about 6-7 cups worth.) So this is a hearty portion of kale + rice + shrooms!

Modifications: If you'd like even more protein - add in some baked or sauteed tofu cubes or some cooked beans or lentils. You could also reduce rice serving size and add in more protein too. It all depends on what protein / carb/ fat ration you are seeking for your meal. This recipe can easily be modified to fit in. If you want lower fat - simply omit some of the peanut butter in the kale salad and use less chopped peanuts.

Directions:

1. Prepare the Spicy Peanut Ginger Kale. Set aside. You can use either warm kale salad or chill ahead of time and use chilled kale salad.

3. In a skillet, over high heat, add the safflower oil. When oil is hot, add in the sliced mushrooms and sweet onions. Saute until tender. Add in the 1 tsp of tamari. Salt and pepper the mushrooms to taste. With the pan still hot, add in some of the kale salad and toss gently with the mushrooms and onions. Turn off heat and let sit.

4. To plate your dish - grab 4 bowls (or as many people as you are serving.) To each bowl: add a bottom layer of rice. Top with a generous portion of spicy kale salad. Toss the rice with the kale salad to infuse the rice with some spicy peanut flavor. Then top off with the kale mushroom skillet mixture - and any liquid-y sauce left on the pan. The final layer: garnish with peanuts and fresh cilantro. Serve warm. Save leftovers for later - reheats like a dream.
